(1) You are alone in a deserted island.Prepare a survival kit. You can only bring 5 items.
The first thing i would bring is the kettle.That's because i could take the sea water ,put it inside the kettle,collect some wood and find two stones , rub it against each other, wait four it to boil and there it is, a warm and fresh water .The fact that when you bring a big bottle filled water, it would used up for a couple of day only! (it may be a very hot weather there .) The next thing is a tent ,(a water proof one!) Well, you need shelter of course, from the rain & the hot sun!The other thing is a swiss army knife,large & expensive . In it,there is a knife that you could slice and open a coconut.A fork & to eat it,in the swiss army knifemay come in handy in eating.Then ofcourse you would need extra clothes! Even tough you are alone i stil prefer to wear something on.The last, sleeping bag. Well definately! Or else you would be sleeping on the hard ground with the thin tent material!

if i were left alone and had to spend one month on a deserted island,i would prepare...

1)A big bottle of water and some empty bottles.The bottle of water would last me for a while until i find a lake or river to fill up my other bottles.

2)A small pot to cook my food and boil the water i got from the rivers or lakes to make sure it is safe to drink.

3)A torchlight and some spare batteries.In the wild,the only light source are the sun and the moon.But at night,the sun would be down and the moon light will be very dim.If the moon is blocked out,there will not be light to help me find my way.

4)A few boxes of match sticks to start a fire to cook my food.And in the wild,it is very cold at night.I would need a camp fire to keep me warm.

5)A windbreaker or a raincoat.In the wild,the nights can be very chilly.Even in the afternoon,if it rains,it will be cold too.So i need a windbreaker to keep me from getting a chill and to shelter me from the rain if the shelter i have is not enough to keep the rain out.

6)A pocket knife.In case i was attack by any wild animals,i have a weapon to protect myself with.And maybe to cut up some edible fruits i might find in the wild.

7)A first-aid kit.If i were to get injured,i can bandage the wound so it will not be infected,it will heal faster and i can keep it from getting scratched by any sharp objects again.

I would bring water, food, a first aid kit, a lighter and a jacket. I need water and food so that I can survive. I need the First Aid Kit in case I get hurt, I can bandage my wounds.I can use the lighter to cook my food and I can use the jacket in case it becomes very cold at night.

THE THING I WOULD BRING IS
1)Materials to make a bow and arrows
Reason: IF there is no lake or pond, there would not be any fishes but there is surely land or
flying animals that i can catch to eat.
2)A lighter
Reason:When night falls, i would need a light source and heat too provide me with warmth
3)A knife
Reason:I would need to cut down wood to make aa fire bigger and cut food(If needed).
4)First-Aid
Reason:If i am injurd i would be able to use the itmes first-Aid
5)A tent
Reason:So that i would be able to sleep in peace whithout needing to be attacked by animals
DONE BY:Lim Zhi Xiang
The 5 Items Are:-
1. A lighter
2. A BIG bottle of water
3. A portable knife
4. A torch light
5. A few books (if my bag is not heavy)

A lighter is useful as it can make fire that can not only cook fish but
can also attract people to rescue me.

It is needed in life as it is essential to me and without it,I can not only
survive that long and also I will get dehydrated.

A knife is useful to cut the branches that block my way to find food.

A torch light is use for finding the way when it is dark,to keep the wild
animals away from me and it is also a good companion.

A few books is the best for me when i'm bored on the deserted island and
I can not only waste time but make full use of my free time with pleasure.

Reflection on Hatchet Debate

Within 1 hour, 39 pupils spoke out and shared some of their thoughts on a given topic and in so doing allowed others to have insight of their own beliefs and values - think of the 'Perfect Home' discussion.

I would like to applaud the 39 individuals for bringing such a professional quality to the debate - all contributed to its success and the 'energy' that resulted from this concerted effort will be converted into greater motivation for 6 Grace.

Please take time to reflect and share your thoughts on the following:

How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?

I had such pleasure hosting the debate and I felt the true magic of 6 Grace.

Please post your thoughts. Thank you.
